You’ll be able to exercise for longer
Stretching loosens the muscles and tendons, which relieves muscle fatigue,” says Floreani. “As we get older we become less flexible, as we spend so long at a desk or on the couch. By stretching, we’re warming up those sleepy areas of our body and reminding them it’s time to get moving.” The best news? The longer you exercise the more kilojoules you’ll burn.
